This
market package allows traffic information to be disseminated to drivers
and vehicles using roadway equipment such as dynamic message signs or
highway advisory radio. This package provides a tool that can be used
to notify drivers of incidents; careful placement of the roadway equipment
provides the information at points in the network where the drivers have
recourse and can tailor their routes to account for the new information.
This package also covers the equipment and interfaces that provide traffic
information from a traffic management center to the media (for instance
via a direct tie-in between a traffic management center and radio or television
station computer systems), Transit Management, Emergency Management, and
Information Service Providers. A link to the Maintenance and Construction
Management subsystem allows real time information on road/bridge closures
due to maintenance and construction activities to be disseminated.
